Hi,

As the title says, I was wondering if you could add the support of downloading Optional wads from a server.

Seems the only way is to download Via Getwad by typing in Manually. But sometimes you are unable to see the whole filename listed.

Could add a Right-click option on a Server? Or Having a Setting inside ZDaemon launcher to download Optional wads when used?

Thanks

Optional wads don't download via the server, so I don't think that a rightclick option would be any help in this case.

There is an option for downloading optional wad files in Doom Explorer too, and I naively thought that the function basically uses the hosting server itself as a download source, but I was wrong. It tries to search for the optional wads on pre-defined servers on the web and if they aren't shared on those servers, it will fail to download any of those wads. So it's highly misleading. Confused
